. TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it,known that I, WILLIAM A. GOOIDHER, of Burlington, New Jersey, haveinvented animproi Portable Ranges; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a'full, clear, and exact description of reference being bad to theaccompanying drawing, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon.

My in'vention'consists of the combination with the fire-place and ovensof a cooking range'of certa and pipes, the whole being constructed andarranged as fully describe h reni'tg that the undue l the outer casin gis prevented, while a continuous supply of heated air may be eitherthrown out into or directed to the chimney; the range being thusavailable for either winter or summer use.

In order to enableothers skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, Iwill now proceed to de manner of carrying the same intoefi'ect.

On reference to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of thisspecification- Figure I is a sectional elevation of my improved cookingrange.

Figure 2, a section onthc line 1 2, fig. 1; and

Figure 3, a plan view of the range with the top p'lateremoved.

A is the outer casing of the range, within which is a smaller casing,13, and within the latter are i C C, and a fire-place, D, in which isthe usual grate. To the front end of the outer casing are hung a a, ofthe twoovens, and the door 5 of the ash-pit, The sides and ends of theash-pit and fire-place with slabs, c a d d, of fire brick, and at theback of the fire-place, above the slab cl, is the usual wate Both thecasings, A. B, are covered by the top plate, F, in which are the usualopenings, e 6. Between e' ovens C C and the casing B, is a space or1111s,], which communicates through an opening, g, with an up G, andeach of these pipes communicates at its upper end, with a horizontaldrum, HQ. which is sccl upright casing, I, attached to the top platc'F.To the drum, H, are connected two vertical pipes former extendingthrough the top of the drum to the chimney, and the latter communicatingthrougl ing,2', with the ash-pit; and in each pipe, G J", is a valve, j,the stem of which projects through of the casing I. A short pipe, 70,extends from the drum H through the front of the casing I, and i: at itsouter end with a cap. At the back of the casing, A, is a sliding door,Z, and inthe front of t near the lower edge of the same, are openings,:0 x. In the top and back of the casing I, are openir suitable form, andin'the pipe J is an opening,'g, to which is fitted a Hide, 6*, for arpose described When a fire is kindled in the fire-place D, the productsof combustion will pass over the tops of the round the same through thefluesf, through the openings g, pipes G G, drum H, and pipe J, to thWhen the fire is raked the valve in the pipe J is turned so as to allowthe dust to pass from the ash-p the opening ito the pipe J and to thedrum H, in which it accumulates, and from which it is rem'ovc the pipeis. The ordinary ranges are so constructed that the heat is eitheralways thrown out into'th is wasted by being absorbed by the surroundingbrick-work, the range in either case being availal during. part of. theyear only; those ranges which throw out the heat being serviceable onlyin- WI! those in which the heat is absorbed by the' brick-work can beused only in summer. For this rec houses are provided with both winterand summer ranges. In the improved range above describ between thecasings A and B, in the casing I, and in contact with the drum H, andpipes, absorb; given off from the inner casing and passes through theopening g to the chimney, so that during the s outer casing is preventedfrom being heated to an objectionable extent. During the winter, however.9, is lowered so as to close the opening q, when the heated airwithiiithe casings will be discharged tl openings in the top and back of thecasing I into the mom; Should the quantity of heated air s-n-ppl'i'emeans he more than suflicient to warm the room in which the range isplaced, a portion may be 001 other rooms through suitable pipes.

It will be seen that by the use of a range of this description thenecessity of employing two difi'erent seasons of theyear is avoided. Itwill also be seenthat a range of this character is simple struction, maybe made at a slight expense, and may be readily moved from placereplace.

I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- I Theovens C C, and fire-place D, in combination with the casings A and Iii,and pipes G G, and equivalents, the whole being constructed and arrangedsubstantially :u and-ion urpose describe! In testimony whereof I havesigned my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingWILLIAM A. Goon Witnesses:
